Malaysia Government To Screw Up ICT Industry

Welcome to Malaysia, where the government is trying to push for a new law that requires any computer professional to be certified with a soon to be form Board of Computing Professionals. This board is supposed to determine who is qualified to practice in the ICT industry. This also means all Malaysians who are in the computer industry would probably need to pay a yearly fee to join this board. This is bullshit.
The beauty of the ICT industry it is democratize a lot of stuff. There are a lot of self taught experts or hackers poking around computers. By having a formal organization will hamper development of the ICT industry.

Does it mean these two folks will not be qualify to do anything in the computer industry because they are drop outs?

There is also an open day for the public to learn about about the act here.
